Your kid just sat still for six hours. Homework asks for one more. Their body needs input first. 🏀 Over under: the head drops below the hips. That wakes up the inner ear (vestibular system), which feeds alertness and the muscles that hold them up in a chair. Side to side: hands and eyes cross the middle of the body. The same foundations they use to write across a page. We do 10 of each before homework. This is one move. My Sensory Seeker Survival Toolkit has 7 modules of them. Link in bio.
